Woke up this morning at 8.45am and Nikki had already text Tash to say they were going down for breakfast and would wait for us, we were hoping for more of a lay-in but got up, showered and went down by 9.20am, wasn’t struggling but it would have been nice to have relaxed a bit more! Lovely breakfast and we noticed/commented on the fact that all the staff were English which in a service industry like that is quite unusual. Breakfast was very good indeed.
We then packed and checked out, dumped our stuff in the car and went for a walk along the sea front, the waves were huge and crashing down on the beach and the defences. Got a bit wet from spray at one point! Didn’t go too far before it was decided to make a move home, so jumped in the car and set off. Stopped for a coffee and then I slept all the way back.
Nice to be home, caught up with Charlotte and Miles and then I set up the Xmas tree and when Jack got home from football (they won 3-2 against Thatcham – although they struggled again) we all decorated it. It’s always a pleasure doing this as the baubles all have meaning, soon got it completed and then sat and watched TV – Stardust was on again, really enjoy that film. Sue came over for lunch as well and we had a lovely roast. We then watched a film in the evening - New Year’s Eve – very, very cheesy and predictable but it was okay I guess.
Once that finished Jack and I watched some of Where Eagles Dare, I was pleased as when he saw it was on his reaction was, “Oh My God, I love this film, I’ve seen it so many times!” – I thought to myself that makes me a good dad…
That finished and we started watching the final of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. It’s been enjoyable again this season and writing this on the train the next day I know the winner which was deserved – Carl Fogharty the super bike champion – a proper celebrity! At 10.00pm we all went to bed, knackered once again!
Earlier in the day Matty Elbro put some old photos onto Facebook that were brilliant, it was our time in Germany and Quarry Rovers days, loved seeing those and also loads of comments as you’d expect! I’ll download them and put them on a different post I think.
